Somebody with the same name as the person on the bottom seems to have a live action career. Not sure if the same skills would be utilized with both 美術 and 仕上. Maybe they are the same person, maybe not. There _is_ an Ai Kobayashi Colorist, and 和美 can be read Ai, but the Ai we have is spelled another way. And the timeframe is way off. I think just leave that one alone.

However, the 小林一美 person needs to be split. She seems to be Studio Ghibli's Hype Woman. ...And typing that made me think of some Japanese woman in that Key And Peele sketch. I only have sources on two of the office job roles, but surely some of the folks here buy Ghibli movies and could check.

Hmm, either Ichizo didn't come up when I was entering credits, or I forgot to record that I went with Kazumi in my notes. (I'm getting déjà vu from this page though)

Ichizo is looking correct though, and he seems to respond to people on twitter, maybe somebody could ask? I checked twitter's search engine, and it seems he has never tweeted "いちぞう." BUT, there is this.

Does he have access to a high level function for moving lots of credits quickly? I thought the SOP in situations like these was to add the misplaced credits to the correct person and then the incorrect credits would be deleted (hidden) in the other person's entry.

1) Create Ichizou Kobayashi and move both sets of credits there. (Because that's how he romanized it, and it actually exists but is empty)
2) Add macron over 'o' and move Kazumi Kobayashi (misreading of 小林 一三) credits there. (Not sure if this is possible)
3) Move Kazumi Kobayashi (misreading of 小林 一三) to Ichizo Kobayashi and pretend like there is a macron.
